Les Miserables

I saw the musical Les Miserables tonight for the first time, performed by my old high school. It's a long story how I ended up there, but in the end it was very very good. Here are the lyrics to my favorite song. The woman singing it was in love with a man who is her best friend, and he's in love with somebody else. The lyrics are really pretty. I liked it :-) And the girl who sang this song had a tremendously beautiful voice. She seriously could go become American Idol tomorrow if she wanted to. I hope she does, because that would be awesome!

"On My Own"

And now I'm all alone again, no where to go no one to turn to,
without a hope without a friend without a face to say hello too.
And now the night is near,
And I can make believe he's here.

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head.

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known!

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own.
